chrisjones6699 Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 Well, its been fitted and it sounds awesome!! BUT not without my fair share of bad luck! The tail pipes are not even, they are not even the same depth (about 15mm out) and i have to wait almost a month to take it back to the garage where it will be heat treated to be corrected! I can honestly say that nothing ever goes smoothly for me and the Zed!! Quote
bodyboarder Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 Oh sorry for you mate, must say mine fitted perfect. So that is pretty bad luck Quote
busa1300 Posted May 22, 2010 Posted May 22, 2010 I thought the tail pipes on the blue flame were just clamped on? Quote
chrisjones6699 Posted May 24, 2010 Author Posted May 24, 2010 Ok, so I've emailed Blueflame with my "issue" (yesterday) and i'm just waiting for them to reply! Just for those who are interested, here are a couple of pics... Quote
M13KYF Posted May 24, 2010 Posted May 24, 2010 are the pipes actually different lengths or is the rear box mounted squarley Quote
chrisjones6699 Posted May 24, 2010 Author Posted May 24, 2010 Basically, the flanges where out by a country mile and the guys at the garage had to put them in a vice so that they could bolt them together, this put the whole back section out and thats what you can see. very poor engineering! Quote
Chilli Red Posted May 24, 2010 Posted May 24, 2010 What a shame Chris, hope you get it sorted. Glad it sounds good though Quote
chrisjones6699 Posted May 24, 2010 Author Posted May 24, 2010 Thanks Sar, I hope so too! The only thing that went well last week was my Stubby fitting! So thank you for that and thank you for an awesome service! Quote
mei Posted May 30, 2010 Posted May 30, 2010 Snap! Well almost. Fitted last week and possibly from the same batch. Think I'll be giving Blue Flame a call on Tuesday. Hope they manage to get your new exhaust to you soon Chris. Quote

Hope they manage to get your new exhaust to you soon Chris. That's exactly the same as mine! Have you got it sorted yet Mei? I've only just got back from Morocco so i'll give the a bell tomorrow to get it sorted. Quote
ChrisUUC Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 Bit of a thread revival but whats the definative answer on these systems and whats the price for: - Just the catback ... - and the Full system with Y Pipe? Thanks, Chris Quote
bodyboarder Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 Dont bother mate as when i measured the pipe work it was smaller than my oem HR exhaust Quote
MattG Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Dont bother mate as when i measured the pipe work it was smaller than my oem HR exhaust Was that for the Y-pipe, mid pipe, rear section or the whole thing? I don't suppose you remember the measurements do you? Does anyone know if the HR exhaust differs to the DE exhaust in terms of bore diameter? Quote
bodyboarder Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 It was for the y pipe section , cant remember the exact size difference but it was smaller so i got rid of it. As for the HR oem pipe being bigger than the DE ones , not sure but i know the y pipe design on the HR is alot better than the DE Quote

As for the HR oem pipe being bigger than the DE ones , not sure but i know the y pipe design on the HR is alot better than the DE Cheers mate, thanks for the info. From what I understand the HR exhaust as a whole is pretty good. IIRC Abbey don't even recommend changing the back box, at least not for performance reasons. Must....not...PM...ZMANALEX...regarding....HR....Y-pipe...... Quote
bodyboarder Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 no pm me mate as i have a HR complete exhaust Quote
ChrisUUC Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 What exhaust do you have on your HR Bodyboarder? Quote
Zugara Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Couldn't you have got a refund from the supplier? Quote
bodyboarder Posted October 12, 2010 Posted October 12, 2010 Just put it on ebay and sold it for what i paid I have xyz pipe and scorpion, really nice sound . Not that loud at all really just what the zed should have been like standard Quote
